Each station has two fundamental components that are constantly running and which generate a broadcasted signal for the station:

AutoDJ: 

Also known as the Broadcasting Back-end. This is a part of software organizes media from different sources, various playlists and live input, and assembles that input into a single composited output stream. Listeners need not have connected directly to the AutoDJ to listen to the station. It is optimized for producing the broadcast to a larger audience.

 

Broadcasting Software:

It is also known as the Broadcasting Front-end. And is a lightweight suite of software. Its primary role is to deliver the signal created by the AutoDJ to hundreds or thousands of listeners. It is optimized to support concurrent incoming connections with a very slight influence on system performance.

 

The service will be available online to purchase from the beginning of March 2020.

All of the services related to the AzuraCast will be free of cost. Let it be the setup, installation or the support.
